City Transport is not only public transport information app but it is a good friend for travellers, city guests, and foreign students. Besides the basic options such as browsing nearest stops, timetable and routes, this app has a unique notification feature which tells to passenger when he/she approaches to the destination stop. Most of you were in situation when you ride in a bus to somewhere you have never been before (even in your own city) and were uncertain in exact location of your stop. This app deals well with this situation. Once you hoped on a bus or other carriage in your city, you set your destination stop either by route number either by location and then it starts tracking your movement. While tracking it shows your current location on the map and how many stops left until your destination. If you don’t mind about continuous tracking of yourself you can put it away or switch to another app, and you’ll be notified about approaching to your destination in one stop before so that you’ll have a time to be ready to leave. You can also set a voice notification so you won’t miss it even if you listen music or sleep.
